A woman was hit by a passing vehicle on Ben Ze’ev Boulevard in Beit Shemesh on Tuesday evening. Emergency medical teams from United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom attempted to treat the woman for her injuries but they were too severe and paramedics in the field were forced to pronounce her death.
United Hatzalah EMT Yechiel Rosenberg said: “Together with the ambulance teams, we performed CPR on the woman at the scene of the accident in an attempt to revive her. The elderly woman suffered from a multi-system trauma due to being hit by the vehicle. Unfortunately, following a lengthy resuscitation effort, paramedics in the field were forced to pronounce her death due to the intensity of her injuries.”
Police have taken the driver of the car into custody and traffic investigators have opened an investigation into the cause of the fatal accident.
